There are two ways of getting out of a trial. One is
to simply try to get rid of the trial, and be thankful
when it is over. The other is to recognize the trial
as a challenge from God to claim a larger
blessing than we have ever had, and to hail it with
delight as an opportunity of obtaining a larger
measure of Divine grace.
Thus even the adversary becomes an auxiliary,
and the things that seem to be against us turn
out to be for the
furtherance of our way.
Surely, this is to be more than
conquerors through Him who loved us.
--A. B. Simpson
